Let A,B be positive semidefinite matrices and any unitarily invariant norm on the space of matrices. We show for any non-negative operator monotone function f(t) on , and for non-negative increasing function g(t) on with g(0) = 0 and , whose inverse function is operator monotone.

We study the Hodge decomposition of L
1-(and measure-) differential forms over a compact manifold without boundary, giving positive results and counterexamples.
The theory is then applied to the relaxation and minimization, in cohomology classes, of convex functionals with linear growth.
This corresponds to a non-linear version of the Hodge theory, in the spirit of L. M. Sibner and R. J. Sibner [SS].

The central problem of this paper is to exclude boundary branch points of minimal surfaces. The method consists in showing
that the third derivative of the Dirichlet energy is negative along well-chosen paths in admissible Jacobi field directions,
if a “Schüffler condition” is satisfied.

For vector valued maps, convergence in W
1,1 and of all minors of the Jacobian matrix in L
1 is equivalent to convergence weakly in the sense of currents and in area for graphs. We show that maps defined on domains
of dimension n≥ 3 can be approximated strongly in this sense by smooth maps if and only if the same property holds for the restriction to
a.e. 2-dimensional plane intersecting the domain.

We compare the eigenvalues of the Dirac and Laplace operator on a two-dimensional torus with respect to the trivial spin structure. In particular, we compute their variation up to order 4 upon deformation of the flat metric, study the corresponding Hamiltonian and discuss several families of examples.

Quasi minimizers for the perimeter are measurable subsets G of such that
for all variations of G with and for a given increasing function such that . We prove here that, given , G a reduced quasi minimizer, and , there are , with , and , homeomorphic to a closed ball with radius t in , such that for some absolute constant . The constant above depends only on n, and . If moreover for some , we prove that we can find such a ball such that is a dimensional graph of class . This will be obtained proving that a quasi minimizer is equivalent to some set which satisfies the condition B. This condition
gives some kind of uniform control on the flatness of the boundary and then criterions proven by Ambrosio-Paolini and Tamanini
can be applied to get the required regularity properties.

Let be a fibered manifold over a base manifold . A differential 1-form , defined on the -jet prolongation of , is said to be contact, if it vanishes along the -jet prolongation of every section of . The notion of contactness is naturally extended to -forms with . The contact forms define a subsequence of the De Rham sequence on . The corresponding quotient sequence is known as the rth order variational sequence. In this paper, the case of 1-dimensional base is considered. A simple proof is given of the fact that the rth order variational sequence is an acyclic resolution of the constant sheaf. Then the 1st order variational sequence is studied
in detail. The quotient sheaves, as well as the quotient mappings, are determined explicitly, and their relationship to the
standard concepts of the 1st order calculus of variations is discussed. The following is shown: a) the lagrangians in the 1st order variational sequence (classes of 1-forms) coincide with 2nd order lagrangians, affine in the second derivative variables, b) the concept of the Euler-Lagrange form is extended to 2-forms which are not necessarily variational, c) the concept of the Helmholtz-Sonin form is introduced as the class of an arbitrary 3-form, d) the well-known fundamental notions such as the Euler-Lagrange, and
Helmholtz-Sonin mappings are represented by two arrows at the beginning of the variational sequence; this relates the global
structure of the Euler-Lagrange mapping to the cohomology of , e) all the remaining classes of -forms with , as well as the quotient mappings, are determined explicitly, f) a locally variational form is defined as a generalization of a symplectic form; locally variational forms, associated to a fixed Euler-Lagrange form,
are characterized, and g) distributions associated with a locally variational form are described, and their relation to the
Euler-Lagrange equations is studied. These results illustrate differences between finite order variational sequences and variational bicomplexes, based on infinite jet constructions.

In this paper, we consider minimizing the Mumford-Shah functional over two-valued functions in the plane, which is equivalent
to minimizing over characteristic functions. Existence of minimizers is straightforward and we show that any minimizing set
is essentially open, has a boundary with finitely many connected components, and each component is C
1. The relatively quick proof does not rely on quasi-minimal surface or varifold theory, but on uniform estimates on the regularity
of the boundary.

We construct a Riemannian metric on the 3-torus such that no closed surface minimizing area in its homology class is incompressible, i.e., each such surface is of genus
greater than one. In particular, for such a Riemannian metric, the homotopically area minimizing 2-tori constructed in [5]
do not minimize area in their homology classes. The example is easily generalized to arbitrary 3-manifolds. The constructed
Riemannian metric can be chosen to be conformally equivalent to any arbitrary given one.

Given any -periodic metric g on and a plane through the origin, Bangert [4] shows that there exists a properly embedded surface homeomorphic to which is homotopically area-minimizing w.r.t. g, lies in a strip of bounded width around P, and does not have self-intersections when projected to the 3-torus . For the set of such surfaces, we show the following uniqueness theorems: If P is irrational, i.e., is not spanned by vectors in , the action of on by translations has a unique minimal set. If P is totally irrational, i.e., , then the surfaces in are pairwise disjoint.

Summary. In shape optimization problems, each computation of
the cost function by the finite element method
leads to an expensive analysis. The use of the second order derivative
can help to reduce the number of analyses. Fujii ([4], [10])
was the first to study this problem. J. Simon [19] gave the second order
derivative for the Navier-Stokes
problem, and the authors describe in [8], [11], a method which gives an
intrinsic expression of the first and second order derivatives on the
boundary
of the involved domain.
In this paper we study higher order derivatives. But one can ask
the following questions:
-- are they expensive to calculate?
-- are they complicated to use?
-- are they imprecise?
-- are they useless?
\medskip\noindent
At first sight, the answer seems to be positive, but classical results of
V. Strassen [20] and J. Morgenstern [13] tell us that the higher order
derivatives are not expensive to calculate, and can be computed
automatically. The purpose of this paper is to give an answer to the third
question by proving that the higher order derivatives of a function can be
computed with the same precision as the function itself.
We prove also that the derivatives so computed are
equal to the derivatives of the discrete problem (see Diagram 1). We
call the discrete
problem the finite dimensional problem processed by the computer. This result
allows the use of automatic differentiation ([5], [6]), which works only on
discrete problems.
Furthermore, the computations of Taylor's expansions
which are proposed at the end of this paper, could be a partial answer to
the last question.

Considered is a variational problem for the bending energy of closed surfaces under the prescribed area and surrounding volume.
Minimizers of this problem are interpreted as surfaces modeling the shape of red blood cells. We give a rigorous proof of
the existence of a one-parameter family of critical points bifurcating from the sphere and study their stability/instability.
In particular, for a few branches of critical points, we compute the exact values of the index and the nullity of critical
points.

Summary.
In this paper we analyze and illustrate a new "ab initio"
part design
procedure, in which, given a cost function which reflects
performance,
materials, and manufacturing considerations, the topology and the
geometry
of the part are automatically produced. The analysis is based on
demonstration
of, first, the compactness of the metric space over which the cost
function is
defined, and, second, lower semi-continuity of the cost function.
Examples include beams and
elastic supports.
